(M-KMA) was established in 1999, with the intent to achieve a balance between economic development and conservation. The goal is to allow resource development to occur in appropriately zoned areas, while maintaining the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wilderness quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diversity and abundance of wildlife<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ecosystems on which wildlife depend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To support land management, the&nbsp;Muskwa-Kechika Management Area Act&nbsp;specified the creation of an overarching management plan and five types of local strategic plans, including park management plans. The overarching management plan is completed. Within the boundaries of the M-KMA, there are 22 provincial parks and protected areas managed by BC Parks. Two parks \u2013 Northern Rockies and Redfern-Keily Provincial Parks \u2013 already have approved management plans. The remaining parks have been grouped together into either front-country or backcountry park plans and are undergoing the management planning process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Engagement summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point the Backcountry Protected Areas of the Muskwa-Kechika: Strategic Management Plan has been drafted and is ready for public review. There are 18 individual parks and protected areas included within this plan. BC Parks has combined the protected areas together into one plan as they all contain similar conservation values, cater to similar recreational activities, are remote, and have limited access\/use.
